Recipe Test: Sally Lunn Bread from Smitten Kitchen

I recently tried the Sally Lunn Bread recipe from Smitten Kitchen. So far my bread baking has been limited to quick no yeast breads and stuff thrown together in my bread machine. This recipe seemed like a good and easy way to try out a yeast bread recipe that required no kneading.

The recipe itself is pretty simple and the results were alright. I thought the bread had a nice flavor, but the crumb could have been better. My loaf also didn't rise very much.

I didn't make the Salted and Honeyed Brown Butter Spread that came with the recipe. I instead whipped up some caramelized honey and salted butter.

This bread was lovely toasted the next day with a thick spread of the whipped butter and a cup of tea.
